Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, specific technical solutions of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The following examples are intended to illustrate the present application but are not intended to limit the scope of the present application.
In the following description, reference is made to "some embodiments" which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it is understood that "some embodiments" may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments, and may be combined with each other without conflict.
In the following description, references to the terms "first \ second \ third" are only to distinguish similar examples and do not denote a particular order of importance to the examples, and it is to be understood that "first \ second \ third" may be interchanged with a particular order or sequence where permissible to enable embodiments of the present application described herein to be practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated or described herein.
Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of the present application only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.
Before further detailed description of the embodiments of the present application, terms and expressions referred to in the embodiments of the present application will be described, and the terms and expressions referred to in the embodiments of the present application will be used for the following explanation.
1) Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a class of feed Forward Neural Networks (FNNs) that contain convolution computations and have a deep structure; the convolutional neural network has the characteristic learning ability and can carry out translation invariant classification on input information according to the hierarchical structure of the convolutional neural network.
2) The feedforward neural network is the simplest neural network, and each neuron is arranged in a layered mode. Each neuron is connected to only the neuron in the previous layer. Each layer receives the output of the previous layer and outputs to the next layer.
3) The attention mechanism is an important component of human cognitive function, and when facing massive information, human beings can pay attention to some information and ignore other information. When a neural network is used for processing a large amount of input information, only some key information inputs can be selected for processing by taking the attention mechanism of the human brain as a reference, so that the efficiency of the neural network is improved. In the neural network model, the maximum convergence (max boosting), gating (gating) mechanism can be considered approximately as a bottom-up significance-based attention mechanism.
An exemplary application of the image inpainting device provided by the embodiment of the present application is described below, and the device provided by the embodiment of the present application may be implemented as various types of user terminals such as a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a camera, a mobile device (e.g., a personal digital assistant, a dedicated messaging device, a mobile phone), and the like, and may also be implemented as a server. In the following, an exemplary application will be explained when the device is implemented as a terminal or a server.
The method can be applied to a computer device, and the functions realized by the method can be realized by calling a program code by a processor in the computer device, although the program code can be stored in a computer storage medium, which at least comprises the processor and the storage medium.
Video image restoration is an important problem in the field of computer vision, and requires that a machine can learn from a large number of natural videos, so that a vivid and natural video can be generated by restoring a video with damaged partial pixels. The video image restoration method has more application scenes; for example, the debris removal, the foreground removal, the video image generation and reconstruction, and the like. In the process of realizing image division in the related art, the hard splitting operation used by the pixel block-based conversion model makes it lack of feature learning at a sub-block (sub-patch) level. Since the attention weight is calculated between different vectors (tokens), there is no direct sub-vector level information to interact with. But the lack of accurate sub-pixel block-level feature interaction results in feature inconsistencies between adjacent blocks, and a smooth feature transition is critical to generating vivid content.
Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, an image restoration method is provided by dividing a first image into a plurality of pixel blocks having an overlapping area; performing dimension conversion on the pixel blocks to obtain a first conversion characteristic; performing fusion conversion processing on the first conversion characteristics of the pixel blocks with the overlapping areas to obtain second conversion characteristics with fine granularity characteristics; in this way, the plurality of second conversion features are combined into the feature map, so that a clearer second image can be generated. As shown in fig. 1A, fig. 1A is a schematic view of an application scenario of an image restoration method provided in an embodiment of the present application, where an image 11 is subjected to hard splitting to obtain 4 pixel blocks, including non-overlapping areas: block (0, 0), block (0, 1), block (1, 0) and block (1, 1), i.e., the set of pixel blocks 12; then, the four blocks in the pixel block set 12 are hard-synthesized, resulting in an image 13 with still insufficiently sharp picture. In the image 14, by using the image inpainting method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the image 14 is subjected to soft segmentation to obtain 4 pixel blocks with overlapping regions, including the overlapping regions: block (0, 0), block (0, 1), block (1, 0) and block (1, 1), i.e. a set of pixel blocks 15; then, soft-combining is performed on the four pixel blocks in the pixel block set 15, so as to obtain an image 16 with clearer picture content.
An embodiment of the present application provides an image restoration method, as shown in fig. 1B, which is described with reference to the steps shown in fig. 1B:
step S101, a first image is acquired.
The first image may be an image or video frame comprising a plurality of or one object, may be an image with a complex appearance, or may be an image with a simple appearance. The first image may be a sharp image or a blurred image that needs to be restored. The first image can be an image acquired by any acquisition device in any scene or a received image transmitted by other devices. For example, an image acquired at a camel at an angle, or an image of an object received from any device.
Step S102, the first image is divided into at least two pixel blocks having an overlapping area.
In some embodiments, the entire first image is traversed at a block size of pixels and a step size, and the first image is partitioned into a plurality of blocks of pixels that satisfy the size. If the step size is set to be smaller than the pixel block size, overlapping regions exist in a plurality of pixel blocks obtained by division, namely, the soft division of the first image is realized. The number of pixel blocks included in the overlap region is related to the proportional relationship between the pixel block size and the step size.
Step S103, performing dimension conversion on each pixel block to obtain a first conversion characteristic of each pixel block.
In some embodiments, the dimensions of each block of pixels are converted, resulting in a first conversion characteristic that facilitates processing by a conversion network with attention mechanism. And performing dimension conversion on each pixel block, wherein the dimension conversion can be to reduce the dimension of the pixel block or to increase the dimension of the pixel block.
In some possible implementations, the first conversion feature of each pixel block is obtained by unfolding the pixel block into a one-dimensional vector and performing linear projection on the one-dimensional vector; that is, step S103 can be realized by the following steps S131 and 132 (not shown in the figure):
step S131, each pixel block is subjected to linear conversion to obtain a dimensionality reduction pixel block.
First, the segmented pixel block, which is a high dimensional feature, e.g., 7 × c in size, where c represents a pixel channel, is input into the fully connected layer of the convolutional neural network. Then, the high-dimensional pixel block is expanded into a one-dimensional vector, and the dimension-reduced pixel block is obtained.
Step S132, adopting a first preset numerical value to perform linear projection on the dimensionality reduction pixel block to obtain the first conversion characteristic.
The first preset value may be any preset value, for example, 64, 32, 512, etc. are set as the first preset value. The first transformation characteristic can be obtained by fixing the dimension-reduced pixel block at a specific size, for example, setting the fixed size to 512, and linearly projecting the dimension-reduced pixel block into a 512-dimensional vector. For example, a pixel block expanded into a one-dimensional vector is subjected to linear mapping to obtain a first conversion feature. Therefore, the high-dimensional pixel block is subjected to linear conversion to obtain the first conversion characteristic with low dimensionality, so that the subsequent processing is facilitated, and the calculation amount of the subsequent processing can be reduced.
And step S104, performing at least one fusion conversion treatment on the first conversion characteristic to obtain a second conversion characteristic after the first conversion characteristic is repaired.
In some embodiments, the converged switching network is used to perform at least one attention process on the first switching feature to predict important features of the first switching feature that need attention; in at least one fusion conversion process, the last output is used as the next input. In this way, by predicting the important feature for the first conversion feature of each pixel block, the image region of interest in the first image can be predicted. In this way, the resulting second transformed features can include features of the attention area in the first image. For example, in the second conversion feature, the attention weight value of the feature representing the attention area of the first image is high.
In some possible implementation manners, firstly, an attention fusion module with an attention mechanism and a fusion feedforward network capable of fusing a plurality of pixel blocks are combined together to form a fusion conversion network; then, connecting a plurality of fusion conversion networks together to form a fusion conversion network set; finally, inputting the first conversion characteristic into a first layer of fusion conversion network in the fusion conversion network set for processing to obtain a processing result; and inputting the processing result into the fusion conversion network of the next layer. And circulating the steps to obtain the processing result output by the last layer, namely obtaining the second conversion characteristic with the image characteristic with finer granularity. The dimension of the second conversion feature is the same as the dimension of the first conversion feature input into the first-layer converged conversion network.
And step S105, synthesizing the pixel blocks corresponding to the second conversion characteristics to obtain a second image.
In some embodiments, each pixel block has a corresponding second conversion characteristic, i.e. the second conversion characteristic has a one-to-one correspondence with the pixel block. By synthesizing the plurality of second conversion features into one feature map, the second feature map synthesized by the plurality of second conversion features sufficiently takes the fine information of each pixel block into consideration since each second conversion feature highlights the finer information in the first image. Therefore, the second image is obtained based on the second feature map, so that the second image is clearer.
In the embodiment of the present application, by first dividing a first image into a plurality of pixel blocks having overlapping regions; performing dimension conversion on the pixel block to obtain a first conversion characteristic which is more beneficial to subsequent processing; then, performing fusion conversion processing on the first conversion features obtained by dimension conversion to obtain second conversion features which can highlight fine pictures in the first image, so that the second conversion features comprise the features with finer granularity of the first image; finally, synthesizing second conversion characteristics containing the updated granularity characteristics to obtain a second image after the first image is repaired; in this way, the first image is divided into a plurality of pixel blocks with overlapping regions, and the plurality of pixel blocks with overlapping regions are combined into a feature map, so that the second conversion feature has a fine-grained feature, and a clearer second image can be generated.
In some embodiments, in order to improve the accuracy of segmenting the first image, the first image is subjected to feature extraction by using a neural network, and the extracted features are segmented, that is, the step S102 may be implemented by the steps shown in fig. 2, where fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of another implementation of the image repairing method provided by the embodiment of the present application, and the following description is performed in conjunction with the steps shown in fig. 1B and 2:
step S201, performing feature extraction on the first image to obtain a first feature map.
In some embodiments, the first image is input into a convolutional neural network (or other neural network capable of feature extraction), and downsampled through two layers of convolutional layers to obtain a first feature map. For example, an encoder using a convolutional neural network encodes the first image to obtain a convolutional feature map of the frame image, i.e., the first feature map.
Step S202, dividing the first feature map into the at least two pixel blocks having the overlapping area.
In some embodiments, the first feature map is partitioned into a plurality of pixel blocks having overlapping regions by traversing the first feature map with a pixel block size and a step size; the obtained pixel blocks have an overlapping area, so that the characteristics of finer granularity in the image, such as the edge characteristics of the image, can be focused.
In some possible implementations, the first feature map is soft-divided according to a certain step size and size, that is, the step S202 can be implemented by the following steps S221 and 222 (not shown in the figure):
step S221, determining a segmentation step size and a segmentation size based on the size of the first feature map.
In some embodiments, the segmentation step size is set smaller than the segmentation size; the division size is set in proportion to the size of the first feature map by analyzing the size of the first feature map. In a specific example, the division size is set to 7 × 7, and the division step size is set to 3.
Step S222, traversing the first feature map according to the segmentation step, and segmenting the first feature map into at least two pixel blocks meeting the segmentation size.
According to the segmentation step length, traversing the first feature map from left to right from top to bottom in the first feature map; thereby enabling the first feature map to be divided into a plurality of pixel blocks; since the division size is larger than the division step size, an overlapping region exists in the resulting plurality of pixel blocks. As shown in the soft segmentation module 401 in fig. 4, in the soft segmentation module 401, the first feature map is divided into a plurality of pixel blocks having an overlapping area, wherein the size of each pixel block is set to k × k × c (where k denotes a pixel block length and height, and c denotes the number of channels of a pixel). As can be seen from the first characteristic diagram, the first characteristic diagram is divided into 9 pixel blocks from left to right in each row, and from top to bottom, each column is divided into 5 pixel blocks. Wherein the pixel block 411 (block (1, 1)) indicates that the position of the pixel block is located at the coordinate (1, 1) of the first feature map; the pixel block 412 (block (5, 5)) indicates that the position of the pixel block is located at the coordinate (5, 5) of the first feature map; the pixel block 413 (block (9, 9)) indicates that the position of the pixel block is located at the coordinates (9, 9) of the first feature map. After the first feature map is divided into a plurality of pixel blocks, dimension conversion is performed on the plurality of pixel blocks, and therefore the first conversion feature which is convenient for subsequent processing can be obtained. Wherein the pixel block 411 corresponds to the first conversion characteristic 414; the pixel block 412 corresponds to a first conversion characteristic 415; the pixel block 413 corresponds to a first conversion characteristic of 416. In the soft segmentation operation shown in fig. 4, the step s is smaller than the size k of the pixel block, each feature map of the first image is soft segmented into overlapping pixel blocks of size k × k, and the overlapping pixel blocks are expanded into one-dimensional vectors, i.e., first transformed features. Wherein the number of first conversion features is as shown in equation (1):
where p denotes the size of the pixel block, w denotes the width of the first image, and h denotes the height of the first image.
In some possible implementation manners, in the process of performing soft segmentation on the first feature map into a plurality of pixel blocks, the segmentation sizes and the segmentation step lengths of the pixel blocks are different, so that the number of the obtained pixel blocks in the overlapping region is different; in order to reduce the difference between the pixel values of the pixel blocks obtained after the division, normalization processing is performed on a plurality of pixel blocks as shown in formula (2):
In this way, the first feature map is divided in such a manner that the division step size is smaller than the division size, so that the obtained pixel blocks have an overlapping region and detail information of the first feature map can be retained.
In the embodiment of the application, a damaged first image is input into an encoder based on a convolutional neural network to extract a first feature map, and the first feature map is subjected to soft segmentation by adopting a certain segmentation step size and a segmentation size, so that a plurality of pixel blocks with fine granularity are obtained.
In some embodiments, to improve the fineness of the obtained second conversion feature, the first conversion feature is subjected to a plurality of times of fusion conversion processing, so that more detailed information in the first feature map can be focused in the second conversion feature, that is, the above step S104 can be realized by the following steps S131 to 133 (not shown in the figure):
step S131, the jth attention fusion processing is carried out on the first conversion feature, and a first fusion feature is obtained.
In some embodiments, j is 1, 2 … … M, and M is a preset number of fusion transformation processes. During the jth attention fusion process, inputting the first conversion feature into an attention fusion module (such as the attention fusion module 321 in fig. 3) to implement the attention fusion process; in an Attention fusion module, after normalization operation is carried out on a plurality of first conversion features corresponding to a plurality of pixel blocks, the first conversion features are input into a Multi-head Attention network (Multi-head Attention), regions needing Attention in a first image are learned, and therefore the first conversion features are adjusted to be third conversion features; and performing element-by-element summation on the third conversion characteristic and the first conversion characteristic to obtain a first fusion characteristic.
In some possible implementations, to improve the accuracy of predicting the fine-grained feature of the first image in the third transformation feature, the step S131 may be implemented by:
firstly, regularization processing is carried out on the first conversion characteristic to obtain a first regularization characteristic.
And performing data preprocessing on the first conversion characteristics corresponding to each pixel block to enable the plurality of first conversion characteristics to be more normalized. For example, the plurality of first conversion features are normalized by subtracting the mean value of the plurality of first conversion features column by column and dividing by the variance of the plurality of first conversion features; thereby obtaining a normalized first regularization feature. Each pixel block corresponds to a first regularization feature.
And secondly, processing the first regularization feature based on a multi-head attention mechanism to obtain a third conversion feature.
In some embodiments, first, query features and key-value pairs of the regularization features are determined.
For example, for each pixel block of regularized feature, determining a Query (Query) vector of the feature by determining an attention distribution with a key Value (key) and appending the attention distribution to a pixel Value (Value); such information can then be entered into a multi-head attention network to determine the attention value of the first image, i.e. the important region of interest in the first image. In a specific example, the important region may be determined according to the picture content of the first image and the application scene. For example, the first image is subjected to image restoration, the picture content is a damaged building image and a background, and the important area is the building image with the damaged picture in the image.
Then, the third conversion feature is determined based on the query feature and the key-value pair.
Respectively inputting query features and key value pairs of the regularized features into a multi-head attention network, determining attention distribution of the first conversion features by adopting the multi-head attention network, and determining a weighted average value of the input first conversion features based on the attention distribution, so that third conversion features representing important regions of the first image can be obtained. In this way, by using the multi-head attention network, the attention weight value of the input information of the first conversion feature is predicted, so that a third conversion feature which highlights an important region of the first image can be obtained, and the calculation amount for repairing the first image can be reduced.
And thirdly, fusing the third conversion characteristic and the first conversion characteristic to obtain the first fusion characteristic.
For a pixel block, the first conversion feature and the third conversion feature corresponding to the pixel block are fused to obtain a first fusion feature corresponding to the pixel block. The number of first fusion features is the same as the number of pixel blocks, i.e. each pixel block has a corresponding first fusion feature. In this way, the regularized features are processed based on a multi-head attention mechanism, and the obtained third conversion features and the first conversion features are fused, so that the first fused features can include more key information in the first image.
Step S132, the feed-forward fusion processing of the jth time is carried out on the first fusion characteristic to obtain the second conversion characteristic.
In some embodiments, the third conversion feature and the first conversion feature are fused to obtain a first fused feature; taking the first fusion characteristic as the input of a fusion feedforward network (shown as a fusion feedforward network 331 in fig. 3), and finally obtaining an optimized characteristic, namely a second conversion characteristic, by performing soft synthesis and soft segmentation for multiple times in the fusion feedforward network; the second conversion feature may be regarded as a feature obtained by one fusion conversion process. In some possible implementation manners, multiple times of fusion conversion processing are performed based on the second conversion feature obtained by the one-time feedforward fusion processing, so that the feature output by the last fusion conversion processing is obtained, and the second image after the first image is repaired is synthesized.
After step S132, based on the second conversion characteristic, a plurality of times of fusion conversion processing are performed to obtain a second conversion characteristic output by the last fusion conversion processing.
In some embodiments, the output of the last fusion transformation process is used as the input for the next fusion transformation process. The processing procedures of step S131 and step S132 are performed a plurality of times with the first conversion feature and the attention conversion feature as inputs of the fusion conversion process, resulting in a second conversion feature having detail information of the first image. In this way, the fusion conversion processing is executed a plurality of times in a loop, so that the second conversion characteristic in which finer-grained information is fused can be obtained.

Namely, pixel blocks in the first frame image 301 and the second frame image 302 are input into the linear projection processing module 303, and the pixel blocks are expanded into one-dimensional vectors in the linear projection processing module 303; then, linear mapping is carried out on the one-dimensional vector to obtain first conversion characteristics of the pixel block, and space position coding is added on the basis of the first conversion characteristics to obtain coding of each first conversion characteristic, wherein the coding comprises the following steps: (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 9), (2, 1), (9, 1).

in some embodiments, the first fused feature is soft-synthesized and soft-segmented a plurality of times by using a fused feedforward network based on fine-grained feature fusion, so as to obtain a second transformed feature with fine-grained information, that is, the step S132 may be implemented by:
firstly, regularization processing is carried out on the first fusion feature to obtain a second regularization feature.
And performing data preprocessing on the first conversion characteristics corresponding to each pixel block to enable the plurality of first conversion characteristics to be more normalized. The process of regularizing the first fused features may be the same as the process of regularizing the first transformed features.
And secondly, performing feedforward conversion on the second regularization characteristic to obtain a feedforward conversion characteristic.
And inputting the second regularization characteristic into the fusion feedforward network, and performing fusion feedforward processing to obtain a feedforward conversion characteristic of the output of the fusion feedforward network. The output feedforward conversion characteristic is the same dimension as the input second regularization characteristic.
And thirdly, fusing the feedforward conversion characteristic and the first fusion characteristic to obtain a second fusion characteristic.
And fourthly, determining the second fusion characteristic as the second conversion characteristic.
And adding the feedforward conversion characteristic and the first fusion characteristic element by element to obtain a second fusion characteristic, namely obtaining a second conversion characteristic with finer granularity.
In the embodiment of the present application, in order to improve normalization between the first fusion features corresponding to each pixel block, regularization processing is performed on the obtained multiple first fusion features. And taking the regularized features as the input of a fusion feedforward network, and performing soft synthesis and soft segmentation operation on the input first fusion features for multiple times in the fusion feedforward network to obtain the final output attention conversion features. In this way, the first conversion feature and the third conversion feature of the same pixel block are fused, and the fused features are subjected to soft synthesis and soft segmentation for multiple times, so that more detailed information can be captured, and the granularity of the obtained attention conversion features is finer.
In some possible implementation manners, the second regularization feature is processed by using a fusion feedforward network, and a process of obtaining a feedforward conversion feature is as follows:
firstly, the second regularization features are converted into pixel blocks to obtain at least two converted pixel blocks.
In the fusion feedforward network, performing dimension-increasing processing on the input second regularization features, and reshaping the second regularization features into pixel blocks; for example, a second regularization feature is a 512-dimensional vector that is transformed into a 7 × 7 × c block of pixels by up-scaling the vector; and then, a pixel block after each second regularization feature conversion, namely at least two converted pixel blocks, can be obtained. In some possible implementation manners, the at least two converted pixel blocks are obtained by performing dimension-up conversion on the second regularization features, and first, each second regularization feature is subjected to linear conversion to obtain at least two dimension-up features. In a specific example, a multilayer perceptual network is adopted to perform linear processing on the second regularization feature, so that the second regularization feature performs dimension raising based on a second preset value, and the dimension of the dimension-raised feature obtained after the dimension raising is the same as the dimension of the initial pixel block (i.e., the pixel block obtained after the division of the first image in step S102). And then, performing linear projection on each liter-dimension characteristic by adopting a second preset numerical value to obtain the at least two conversion pixel blocks. Here, the second predetermined value is proportional to the first predetermined value (for example, the first predetermined value and the second predetermined value are reciprocal); the linear projection mode of the dimension-increasing characteristic is the same as the linear projection mode of the dimension-reducing pixel block, but the preset values in the projection parameters are reciprocal, so that the dimension-increasing characteristic is linearly projected by adopting the second preset value, and the conversion pixel block with the same size as the initial pixel block can be obtained. In this way, the second regularization features are converted into converted pixel blocks of the same size as the initial pixel blocks by using an inverse linear conversion method, thereby facilitating aggregation of different second regularization features in the overlap region.
And secondly, synthesizing the at least two conversion pixel blocks based on the position information of each conversion pixel block in the first image to obtain a second feature map.
For each conversion pixel block, position information of the conversion pixel block in the first image, i.e. coordinates in the first image, is determined. And splicing the conversion pixel blocks based on the coordinates of each conversion pixel block, so that a second feature map can be synthesized. In the process of synthesizing the second feature map, for an overlapping region of a plurality of conversion pixel blocks, the conversion pixel blocks in the overlapping region are subjected to element-by-element addition, and the added sum is taken as a pixel value of the overlapping region. In this way, the pixel values of the overlapping region are enabled to gather features from different transformed pixel blocks, thereby making the edge region in the resulting second feature map smoother.
And thirdly, dividing the second feature map into at least two middle pixel blocks with overlapping areas.
Segmenting the second feature map in a manner similar to step S102; that is, the second feature map is traversed by using the set division size and division step size, and the second feature map is divided into at least a plurality of intermediate pixel blocks having overlapping regions.
And finally, performing dimension conversion on each middle pixel block to obtain the feedforward conversion characteristic of each middle pixel block.
And carrying out dimension conversion on each middle pixel block to obtain the feedforward conversion characteristic of each middle pixel block. And performing dimension conversion on each middle pixel block, unfolding the middle pixel block into a one-dimensional characteristic vector, and performing linear projection on the one-dimensional characteristic vector by adopting a fixed size to obtain the feedforward conversion characteristic of the middle pixel block. In this way, in the fusion feedforward network, by performing soft synthesis on the first fusion feature for multiple times and performing soft segmentation on the feature map subjected to soft synthesis again, the feedforward conversion feature obtained after segmentation again has richer edge information and can fuse more information of adjacent pixel blocks.
In some embodiments, in order to improve the effect of repairing the incomplete image, the transformed image is reconstructed into pixel blocks by decoding the transformed features, and the repaired second image is synthesized according to the positions of the pixel blocks in the original image, that is, the step S105 can be implemented by the following steps S151 to 153 (not shown in the figure):
step S151, performing linear conversion on each second conversion feature to obtain a fourth conversion feature.
For each second conversion feature in the plurality of second conversion features, inputting the second conversion feature into the linear layer and decoding the second conversion feature into a one-dimensional vector to obtain a fourth conversion feature; the number of the fourth conversion features is the same as the number of the second conversion features.
Step S152, reshaping each of the fourth conversion features into a pixel block, so as to obtain an updated pixel block set.
Performing dimension-increasing processing on each fourth conversion characteristic to obtain an updated pixel block set; for example, the dimension of each fourth conversion feature is increased, the one-dimensional feature vector is converted into a two-dimensional pixel block, the fourth conversion feature is reshaped, and an updated pixel block set is obtained; the size of the two-dimensional pixel block is the same as the size of the original pixel block. As shown by update pixel blocks 421, 422, and 423 in fig. 4.
Step S153, synthesizing the update pixel blocks in the update pixel block set into the second image based on the position information of each update pixel block in the first image.
Determining the coordinates of each updating pixel block in the first image, and combining the updating pixel blocks with the overlapping areas into a feature map based on the coordinates; and obtaining a repaired second image by decoding the characteristic diagram. In this way, by soft-combining the updated pixel blocks having the overlapping regions, the overlapping regions between different pixel blocks can be better utilized, thereby improving the image restoration effect.
In some possible implementations, by decoding the feature vector input into the linear layer into a one-dimensional vector and reshaping the one-dimensional pixel block, and then combining a plurality of pixel blocks with overlapping regions into a feature map, the overlapping regions between different pixel blocks can be better utilized, that is, the step S153 can be implemented by:
firstly, overlapping pixel blocks of the updating pixel blocks in the same overlapping area are fused to obtain a fused pixel block.
And carrying out element-by-element summation on partial pixels of the updated pixel block in the same overlapping region, thereby obtaining a fusion pixel block of the overlapping region. That is, because there is an overlap region between the updated pixel blocks, the pixel values overlapped at the same spatial position are summed element by element to obtain a pixel block on the overlap region, i.e., a fusion pixel block.
And secondly, determining the first position information of the fusion pixel block and the second position information of the non-overlapped pixel block based on the position information of each updating pixel block in the first image.
And respectively determining the coordinates of the overlapping area corresponding to the fusion pixel block and the coordinates of the non-overlapping pixel block in the first image according to the coordinates of each updating pixel block in the first image.
And thirdly, splicing the fusion pixel block and the non-overlapped pixel block based on the first position information and the second position information to obtain a third characteristic diagram.
And splicing the fused pixel block and the non-overlapped pixel block in the overlapped region according to the position of the overlapped region in the first image and the positions of other non-overlapped regions belonging to the same updating pixel block in the overlapped region, so as to obtain a third feature map with the same size as the original first feature map.
And fourthly, decoding the third feature map to obtain the second image.
And decoding the third characteristic diagram by adopting a decoder based on the convolutional neural network to obtain a repaired image, namely a second image. As shown in the soft combining module 402 in fig. 4, in the soft combining module 402, first conversion features 414, 415 and 416 are reshaped into update pixel blocks 421, 422 and 423, respectively; then, based on the position information of the pixel blocks 421, 422, and 423 in the original first feature map, the pixels in the overlapped region are fused and spliced with the pixels in the non-overlapped region, so as to obtain a feature map 424 for repairing the first image (where the feature map 424 is used to indicate the reference numeral of the feature map).
In the embodiment of the application, the two conversion characteristics are input into a soft synthesis module to obtain a third characteristic diagram with the same size as the first characteristic diagram, and the learned third characteristic diagram is input into a decoder based on a convolutional neural network to obtain a repaired second image; in this way, when the second conversion feature after the fusion conversion processing is soft-synthesized to the original position, the overlapping region collects information from different conversion features, and by fusing information from adjacent pixel blocks, it is possible to contribute to smoothing the boundary of the pixel block and expanding the reception range of the pixel block.
An exemplary application of the embodiment of the present application in an actual application scenario will be described below, taking implementation of high-quality image restoration by using a high-quality image restoration framework as an example.
In some embodiments, video image restoration is an important problem in the field of computer vision, and a machine is required to learn from a large amount of natural videos, so that the video restoration with partial pixel damage can generate a vivid and natural video. The technology has a plurality of application scenes, such as sundry removal, foreground removal, video image generation and reconstruction and the like.
Networks for repairing images include convolutional neural networks, attention mechanisms, and the like. The ability of convolutional neural networks to accommodate most video image tasks. The attention mechanism can better model among pixels with longer distances, and is particularly important for repairing video images, which needs to refer to visual features from other space-time positions. The attention mechanism can be flexibly inserted into the convolutional neural network, so that the neural network learns better visual characteristics, and the video image restoration is facilitated. However, in the related art, attention is paid to a mechanism in the visual task, and due to the calculation amount, the image feature is often required to be hard-divided into many pixel blocks. By hard segmentation is meant that an image feature is sliced into non-overlapping small blocks of pixels along both the width and height dimensions (coarse granularity). Then, the attention mechanism directly models among a plurality of small pixel blocks, which results in under-utilization of pixels (fine granularity) inside the small pixel blocks, and affects the final image restoration effect.
Based on the above, the embodiments of the present application provide a method for performing soft segmentation and soft synthesis on an image, where the soft segmentation is to segment a feature map of the image into a plurality of pixel blocks with overlapping regions, and the soft synthesis is to combine the plurality of pixel blocks with overlapping regions into one feature map; the pair of soft segmentation and soft synthesis modules are used once at the beginning and the end of the fusion conversion processing and are repeatedly used in a feedforward network in the fusion conversion processing, so that the fusion conversion processing has the capability of learning fine-grained subblock (sub-patch) characteristics, and a clearer video can be generated.
Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic view of an application scenario of the image inpainting method according to the embodiment of the present application, where an image set 501 represents a first column of images in fig. 5, and is an image frame marked with a detection frame; the image set 502 represents the second column of images in fig. 5, which are real reference images; the image set 503 is a result of repairing the images in the image set 501 in the related art; the image set 504 is based on the implementation framework shown in fig. 3, but does not include the multi-layer attention conversion block 304 in fig. 3, that is, the images in the image set 501 are repaired by performing soft segmentation and soft synthesis on the images in the image set 501, so as to obtain a repaired image set 504; the image set 505 is a restored image obtained by restoring the image in the image set 501 based on the implementation framework shown in fig. 3.
As can be seen from fig. 5, the images in the image set 504 can better process detailed information than the image set 503 by a combination of soft segmentation and soft synthesis. When the function of forward conversion (transform) is implemented by the multi-layer attention conversion block 304 provided in the embodiment of the present application on the basis of the image set 504, the images in the image set 505 can recover details and severely damaged objects.
